• 1 cup (112 g) fine almond flour
• ¼ cup (22 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ cup (30 g) coconut flour
• ¼ cup (48 g) Swerve or preferred granular keto sweetener
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9-cup muffin tin with paper or silicone liners.
2. In a high-speed blender, combine the eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
3. Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Blend on medium-high, scraping the sides as needed, until the batter is thick and smooth.
4. Pour in the avocado oil or melted coconut oil and blend briefly just until incorporated.
5. Remove the pitcher from the base and stir in the sugar-free chocolate chips, reserving a tablespoon for the tops.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.
7. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over each muffin.
8. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan before serving.

Pro Tips
• For a smoother batter, ensure your eggs and almond milk are at room temperature before blending.
• Sift the almond flour, coconut flour, and cocoa powder to remove any lumps for the fudgiest possible texture.
• Don’t over-bake! Pull the muffins from the oven when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. They will firm up as they cool.
